See ya Chicago, we're Charleston bound

I've been talking to the baws in FBD threads about it for years, and it's finally happening. Girlfriend got her offer letter today (I work remote) and we're going to put Chicago in the rearview mirror. The people in charge who hate me, my tax money, and my law abiding ways can have it...build your progressive utopia.
She's starting at the end of January and will head out before me. I'm staying back for a bit to get the condo listed, get the movers figured, and pack everything up. I should be down there around the beginning of March.
Already a member of the Charleston Badgers group on Facebook, already researching fishing charters and golf courses, and potentially applying for an apartment tonight. Gonna stay downtown somewhere with a pool so we can enjoy the scene and culture our first year down there, make some friends, and get the lay of the land. Maybe purchase something in a few years when home prices bottom out.
I'm now a CofC hoops fan and Clemson football fan, but probably need to make some adjustments to my wardrobe. Already annoyed at all the OSU fans in town.
Charleston baws, anything I need to know about assimilating, let's hear it.
ETA: Chicken, I may need help changing my username to Chucktown_Badger

ETA That being said with loads of sarcasm, good on you for getting out and making the move.

Congrats, baw.
Wait what?
Charleston is really high on my travel list. Only about a 6 hour drive.

Midwesterners pretty much outnumber native South Carolinians down here nowadays, so you should feel right at home.
ETA: Also vote red and we’re cool.

You’re going from one awesome place to another. Enjoy the next chapter.

You will love all the Ohio transplantsthat love to tell us how backwards we are and how much better it is up North.

I left Chicago for the utopia of Memphis. I consider it a draw.

I can't wait to move to a utopia. If it weren't for family we'd leave now, I'd leave now anyway but the wife has strong bonds.

Hopefully the food is better.

Congrats? What part of Chicago are you leaving? Suburbs or Chicago proper?

All I read was that the girlfriend will be alone in Charleston in the month of February

When you and the misses are reunited, take her to the Chubby Fish for a nice meal. Charleston and the surrounding areas up and down the coast are great. Chubby Fish

Congrats on being warmer, wealthier, and safer. The south is the only place worth living in this country.

You need to come further south.

I always used to joke with my buddies about how big of a Clemson fan I am because 1) I bought a discount Clemson tervis so we could drink on the beach on Sullivan's and 2) because I've wanted to move there for years.
Badgers will remain number one for me until further notice.
